Studio 3 Marketing vs Plastix Marketing: which full-service agency fits your practice?

Studio 3 Marketing and Plastix Marketing are two of the full-service agencies named most often when aesthetic practice owners ask for a marketing agency.

Both run SEO, AI search, Google and Meta ads, websites, content and social, and both help you follow up with leads.

The differences are in how each is built: team size, whose software holds your leads, what each publishes about contracts and HIPAA, and whether aesthetics is the whole business or most of it.

This page lays those out side by side, so you can pick the one that fits how your practice runs.

Studio 3 Marketing vs Plastix Marketing at a glance

Updated September 2026.

All facts are as of September 2026 and come only from each agency's own website.

"No" means we couldn't find it on the agency's site, not that it doesn't exist; ask for it in writing.

What's the difference between Studio 3 Marketing and Plastix Marketing?

The four differences that matter most for most practices:

What services do Studio 3 Marketing and Plastix Marketing offer?

Studio 3 Marketing lists branding, website design, video and photography, SEO, AI search optimization, digital advertising, email marketing and social media marketing on its med spa page.

Studio 3 Marketing also sells three things built around its own technology and people: LeadLoop lead management, multi-location technology, and a content platform for managing aesthetics websites.

Its Patient Acquisition Coaching is a three-month program that reviews your intake and consult flow and gives front-desk and consult staff weekly feedback.

For ads, Studio 3 Marketing runs Google and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) campaigns and describes itself as a Google Premier Partner and a Meta Business Partner.

Plastix Marketing lists SEO, AI search optimization, content, social media, search and digital advertising, lead generation, chatbots, web design, branding, video, marketing automation, CRM support, sales enablement, consulting and hosting.

For ads, Plastix Marketing names Google Search, Meta, native and geofencing campaigns.

Plastix Marketing's pitch is one connected system, in its words "SEO informs content. Content informs ads," run by one team.

Both agencies cover the whole stack, so the choice rarely comes down to a missing service.

What do Studio 3 Marketing and Plastix Marketing cost?

Neither Studio 3 Marketing nor Plastix Marketing publishes prices, as of September 2026.

Studio 3 Marketing shows no pricing, fees or minimums on its med spa, advertising, coaching or about pages, and routes pricing questions to its contact form and phone line.

Plastix Marketing's Growth Plan page offers a 20-minute call instead of a price list, and its consultation form asks for your monthly marketing budget in ranges from under $5,000 to $20,000+ a month.

Plastix Marketing's terms say fees are set in each order: a monthly retainer, any paid-ads management fee, and any setup fees, with ad spend kept separate and paid to the platforms directly or funded through the agency.

Its advertising page adds that you will see your ad budget and its management fees, with "no hidden markups."

So the only fair way to answer "which is cheaper" is to get both proposals in writing and compare them on the same line items.

The med spa marketing cost guide explains what those line items usually cover.

What contract terms do Studio 3 Marketing and Plastix Marketing publish?

Plastix Marketing publishes its Master Terms of Service, last updated June 3, 2026.

• Initial term: 6 or 12 months, as set in your order, and 12 months if the order doesn't say.
• After that: month-to-month, and either side can cancel with 30 days' written notice.
• Leaving early: ending for convenience during the initial term costs 50% of the remaining monthly retainer fees.
• Ad accounts: you own them unless your order says otherwise; templates and account shells in Plastix Marketing's own business manager stay with it.
• Your work: custom work transfers to you on full payment, excluding Plastix Marketing's reusable templates and methods.
• Hosting: if you cancel hosting with Plastix Marketing, you have 48 hours to migrate the site.

Studio 3 Marketing doesn't publish a minimum term, notice period, termination fee or asset-ownership terms on its site.

That isn't a red flag on its own, but it means you learn Studio 3 Marketing's terms from the proposal, not before the call.

Whichever you pick, get the minimum term, notice period and who owns the website, domain, ad accounts and Google Business Profile in writing.

Do Studio 3 Marketing and Plastix Marketing sign a BAA?

Plastix Marketing does, per its own terms: the parties sign a Business Associate Agreement before Plastix Marketing accesses any practice system containing protected health information.

Its hosting compliance page also describes HIPAA-compliant hosting with encryption at rest and in transit, and lists Business Associate Agreements.

We found no HIPAA or BAA statement on Studio 3 Marketing's med spa, about, advertising or LeadLoop pages, or in its privacy policy, in September 2026.

That doesn't mean Studio 3 Marketing won't sign one, so ask before any tracking, forms or lead software go live.

This matters because tracking pixels on lead forms can send patient health information to ad platforms; read HIPAA and website tracking before either agency installs tracking on your site.

Which tools does each agency own, and what happens to your data?

Studio 3 Marketing's LeadLoop is its own software.

It collects every lead in one dashboard, attributes each to its marketing source, and records follow-up by email, phone, text and social DMs in one history.

Studio 3 Marketing's site doesn't say how you export that data or what happens to it if you leave, so ask.

Plastix Marketing doesn't sell its own CRM.

It's a certified partner with HubSpot, Keap and SharpSpring, and its CRM support page says setup, implementation and maintenance are part of every Growth Plan, with integrations to your website, its reporting platform, and even an electronic health records API.

Because the CRM is a third-party product, the records can live in an account you control, but confirm whose name the account is in.

The trade-off is simple: software built by your agency can be tightly wired to its marketing, while a mainstream CRM is easier to keep if you change agencies.

What results do Studio 3 Marketing and Plastix Marketing publish?

All of the numbers below are self-reported by each agency, as shown on its site in September 2026, and we haven't audited them.

• Studio 3 Marketing: Aurora Medical Spa, +199% web traffic in six months (a client since 2024, per the case study); its about page also reports a 90% client retention rate.
• Plastix Marketing: Buckhead Plastic Surgery, a 164% lead increase (50 to 241 leads a month) and 3,500+ new leads over 18 months; LUX Med Spa, 400+ new leads a month; its fact sheet reports clients stay 3.2 years on average.

Neither agency publishes a date for every case study, so ask when the work happened and whether the same team would run your account.

Which should you pick?

Pick Studio 3 Marketing if...

• You run several locations, or plan to, and want multi-location technology and one large team behind all of them.
• You want brand, photography and video produced in-house alongside SEO and ads.
• You want lead software and intake coaching for your front desk from the same agency that runs your marketing.

Pick Plastix Marketing if...

• You want an agency that works only with aesthetic practices.
• You want your CRM (HubSpot, Keap or SharpSpring) set up, automated and maintained as part of the plan.
• You want contract terms and a BAA in writing before you sign, and HIPAA-compliant hosting from the same team.

If you're still shortlisting, the Studio 3 Marketing alternatives and Plastix Marketing alternatives pages compare each with five other options.

If the real question is which is the best full-service med spa marketing agency overall, the best med spa marketing agencies list compares ten of them by fit.

A third option: More Booked Consults

More Booked Consults is a med spa and plastic surgery marketing agency focused on conversion (landing pages, CRO), local SEO and managed Meta ads.

It's run by Gabe Meierotto, LaserAway's in-house Director of CRO from 2018 to 2023, whose testing program took sitewide conversion from 3% to 11% across 2,600+ tested variations (documented in Intellimize's published case study; see results). Those are his results in a former in-house role, not agency client results.

It fits practices whose problem is converting the traffic and inquiries they already have (CRO and local SEO, $2,500/month each or $5,000/month together), or that want managed Meta ads sent to landing pages it builds and tests ($3,000/month plus a $2,500 one-time setup, with ad spend paid by you directly to Meta), all on the pricing page.

More Booked Consults CRO and local SEO each have a 6-month minimum, and managed ads a 3-month minimum.

It does not fit practices that want Google Ads, a website rebuild, social posting, email and SMS, or CRM setup: for those, Studio 3 Marketing or Plastix Marketing is the better choice.
